Welcome to Sacred Ground International

MISSION: SUSTAINABLE AND SACRED LIVING THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE AND SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT…

SGI: AN EDUCATIONAL 501 C (3) ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO THE DEMONSTRATION AND SUPPORT OF THE COMMON THREAD, TO BE HONORED AND RESPECTED, THAT CONNECTS EACH OF US TO OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR LANDSCAPE, GUIDED BY OUR INNATE LOVE OF TRUTH, BEAUTY, AND DESIRE TO THRIVE AND CONTRIBUTE.

Sacred Ground is building a model of interdependent, yet self-sufficient and harmonious living. This model, in the Pryor Mountains of Montana is located on 3500 privately held acres on the Crow Indian reservation. It serves as a Living/Learning Center for people from every walk of life. It is a retreat, a gathering place, a research center, a ranch, farm and home for Buffalo, Mustangs, wildlife and those of us who live here.

The foundation of all of the choices we make, of all that we do here, from building a fence to the way we feed our animals, the way we build a road and the development of a spring, is based on sensible and sustainable practices – does it grow corn? Is it in balance, is it in harmony with everything and everyone involved?

Our Passion

Sacred Ground International is an organization designed to inspire, inform and demonstrate the Sacredness of all life. The Ranch is our school, the Buffalo, the Paint Mustangs, wildlife, land and water, our teachers. A Living Learning Center.

We can see forever...

Sacred Ground International was inspired and conceived by a love of Nature, a strong awareness of Natures ability to teach and a desire to share the beauty, peace and wisdom Nature reflects back to us. We have witnessed again and again, the extraordinary in the ordinary.

The Old Ones (Indigenous Elders) speak of prophecy and a renewal coming. The socio-economic and political experts speak of disaster, war and the necessity for change in order to survive. The spiritualists speak of a return to values, human rights and solutions as diverse as the cultures that support them.

These issues have now become the focus of all people in every village and family. The search for common ground, that which is true for all life. The search for peace and joy.
Nature may hold the key, that which is natural and never changing, laws that guide and always abide in the end. “You can’t fool Mother Nature,” may be a clue.

The Indigenous, those who have lived close to the Earth and Nature, speak of all things in balance, collaborating with the Earth, the elements and cycles of life. We work with the World Council of Elders and often hold gatherings of Indigenous leaders and people from around the world. We listen and implement and learn.

Our experiences teach us what sustains and what falls away, what empowers and endures. We take what is known, use what we learn from our own experience, combine them, and share the outcome while constantly listening and adjusting to achieve the highest results.

This is our life, our ongoing journey without destination. Our dream is to live it and share it. This place powerfully unravels our dilemmas and beautifully reflects our personal truths.

NEW INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATE

We have a new Affiliate Project! Terra Sacra (Latin for 'Sacred Ground') is located in the Pyrenees Mountains of France. Peter Bakkes and Alice Kromhout have recently embarked on a mission to share the wisdoms they have gained through extensive travel to remote and timeless places, time spent with spiritual leaders, learning and sharing Indigenous ceremonies and many earth and land based adventures.

They too, endeavor to capture and share the Ancient Wisdoms of the 'Oneness of Being', 'We are all related' and 'All life is Sacred.' Sacred Ground International and Terra Sacra work hand in hand to inspire, inform and demonstrate these Universal truths.

THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDANCE

Sacred Ground Int'l has been the home of the International Sundance that is sponsored and made possible by the World Council of Elders. The first Sundance was held at Sacred Ground high on a plateau beneath the mountain in 2007. For further information and reservations please contact: worldcouncilofelders@gmail.com
